Producers of products which we purchase and bring into our homes place all kinds of WARNING labels on their products. Some of them are duh, some rather unnecessary, some tickle our funnybone. Do not use while sleeping, external use only, do not ingest, swallow, use near open flame..... Okay, you get it. But, should hospitals attach tags to babies toes after delivery with cautions: This baby is not disposable, do not ignore any unexplainable long periods of crying. This baby may be subject to incessant wailing. Perhaps it cries from hunger, pain, needs a clean diaper. Do not leave unattended, keep away from hazardous materials such as matches, .gasoline, cleansing products, etc. Do not SHAKE your baby, this may result in severe injury or death. Do not leave alone in an automobile, death may occur, and you will be charged. Know your current partner well before allowing him or her to be care providers, babysitters, or have unlimited unsupervised free access to your offspring. This baby needs air to breathe, and is not drown-proof. Protect your baby or toddler child from drowning. Avoid public or private swimming pools unless your baby or child is wearing proper life saving equipment which is age-appropriate. Always provide competent adult supervision around pools. Do not allow child to roam free at a beach, lake or river. Do not leave baby or toddler alone in a bathtub or wading pool, or allow access to other water-filled objects such as a toilet.
Okay, this list could go on and on and on. The end of this warning statement should contain a signature line and be endorsed by parents advising them that the baby which they produced is FRAGILE and should be handled with care. They should be advised that they are responsible for the care of this baby, and if this baby or toddler or child or teen "goes missing" they have to provide verifiable answers, and if unwilling they can be placed in a work facility where they can put in their time each day doing manual labor such as scrubbing the floors of a morgue. Parents cannot continue to avoid any legal punishment for their vanishing offspring. Sure, it's not going to happen, parents have rights, children don't.
IMO
